Monday, March 16 Who: Ashley, open Where: Edge of Chicago, non-ruined side When: Late night, Monday the 16
Status: Closed/Abandoned Summary: Exploring at night for a weapon, Ashley bumps into Marco. After ascretaining they aren't out to kill each other, they plan to head back on his plan to where he and Aiden are staying. (( thread was then abandoned; assumption was made on my end that Ash changed her mind & stayed with Peter )).
Ashley pulled her coat a little tighter to her body as she gazed apprehensively toward the city. She'd lost sight of Peter five minutes ago thanks to the darkness, and she was afraid. As she stood still, undecided, she realized she there were several things she should have invested in before roaming away from areas she knew had supplies - a flashlight would have been great right about now. And a weapon, but that was sort of her reason for venturing in here now.
Inhaling deeply, stealing herself, she lifted one foot to start forward only to freeze. Had she heard something? "Just the wind," she muttered to herself. Wondering if she was lying to herself, she listened for a minute, then another, before deciding whatever had made the noise must have been the wind - or something that wasn't here now.
She started forward again, her own scuffing feet sounding incredibly loud as she approached the city, grunting once as her toe caught on a curb to nearly send her sprawling. "Nice," she muttered to herself again, but the sound of her voice in this dark place seemed wrong ... and she decided to stop talking to herself. It wasn't like Pete was in earshot, anyway.
